In 2022, the French Development Agency (AFD), as a financial partner of the MobiliseYourCity (MYC) initiative, tasked SYSTRA with the creation of a reference guide to support public authorities and consultants in the analysis of their governance frameworks, as well as the design and implementation of institutional reforms.
This guide, known as the Governance Toolkit, involved the conducting of case studies focusing on urban mobility governance in six cities across Latin America, Africa, and Asia, including numerous interviews.
The Governance Toolkit included four modules dedicated to:
- Concepts of governance,
- A governance diagnostic,
- Measures to improve the governance framework,
- Analysis of the governance frameworks in the cities of Curitiba (Brazil), Dakar (Senegal), Istanbul (Turkïye), Kochi (India), Rabat (Morocco), and Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic).
SYSTRA and AFD: a long and successful collaboration
For the third time in a row, SYSTRA signed a multi-tender, multi-year framework agreement with the AFD for studies, consultancy, and technical assistance services relating to mobility and urban and suburban transport projects, including several sustainable urban mobility plans (SUMPs).
